Description
Some people might recognize this photo from my old acct. i've battled the past week trying to decide whether or not to upload it to this new acct. i decided to do so bc despite ho much it hurts, it was and IS a piece of my every day life- with that being my photo goal, and granny being such a huge part of my life and heart, how can i leave out the moment my heart broke forever and i felt 4 again and lost in a scary world; how can i leave this one out?....love you granny<3

I think this is the first time a photograph has made me want to cry, such a wonderfully powerful shot. I love it, so much.
One thing I would say from a non-emotional side are that the colours seem a bit off, like cross processed. I don't think that works so well with the shot.
such a lovely image though. <3

thank you for liking this, i was going to try to take the odd color ( it's from horrible hospital lights and her having jaundice) but felt editing it would make the photo lose some of it's meaning and be "untrue". i still don't know if i want to keep it up or not, but ty again so much for liking it

This is a really profound piece, and I feel as if it should be in Conceptual rather than Spontaneous, but that is just me.
I like the way the greenish tone of things convey the situation more, in a sense, or maybe a hint of illness, and things not being quite right. I like the way you have off-centred the hand so that the composition is made more profound. I do feel that you could have gone a bit closer still, or maybe moved the camera more to the left, perhaps.
What I don't really like is the way the background and foreground merge in terms of colours. I feel that.. there should be more differentiation between the main subject matter and the background to further emphasise the concept.
Perhaps you could desaturate the background, add a vignette... it's up to you, though. A lower saturation overall wouldn't hurt, perhaps.
Poignant piece, regardless.

thank you very much for taking the time to comment this....this is my great grandma, i took care of her the past 7 yrs, and she passed away last yr. She fell and broke her hip and slowly declined after that. When i took this photo, i thought i was just chronicling another part of her life,not,the end of it. :\ sometimes this photo makes me feel slightly better bc i remember that day so vividly and she was still kind of herself and making sense and talking with me. other times, it feels intrusive or disrespectful. overall i'm still not sure how i feel about it, but i do know i could never completely get rid of it. thank you again
